NAME
Net::Protocol::Simple - Perl extension for handling simple generic
protocol layers within applications
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Protocol::Simple;
my $p = Net::Protocol::Simple->new(protocol => 6, layer => 4);
$p->protocol(); Gives us 'TCP'
$p->int(); Gives us 6;
my $p = Net::Protocol::Simple->new(protocol = 'udp', layer => 4);
$p->protocol(); Gives us 'UDP';
$p->int(); Gives us 17;
DESCRIPTION
This module is intended to be used in conjunction with
Net::Connection::Simple. Some applications such as snort and other IDS's
log their alert data as simple connections. This module will allow you
to read in their protocol data as an int or a string. The backend stores
it as a string (TCP,UDP,ICMP). Natively it will handle these three
protocols, but it will scale to any other layer and protocol as a simple
handler. Using Net::Connection::Simple, you can use these to populate
the multiple layers of the connection.
